Adult's Easy Crochet Hat

Lion Brand® Wool-Ease®

GAUGE:

13 sc + 16 rows = about 4 in. (10 cm)

When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size
specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be
sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what
the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person.
If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller
size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Ratings and Reviews

Terrific pattern! I've made 2 of them, so far...one by sc in the back loop and one by sc in the front loop. For the one in the front loop I also embroidered a cross-stitch pattern around before stitching it up. You can also increase the chain by about 10 stitches and have a double cuff on it. This is definitely my new "go to" pattern for hats.
